Can't decide what sort of pic to enter here. Let me know what you think of these 4:-

I think the first two are really beautiful, but I like number 2 most with its warm colours!

Well some of these shots are great! I'm quite new to 'proper' photography but I thought I would put this one in, I'm quite pleased with it! It's as it came out of the camera, no photoshop for me. Any critiscim welcome, I want to learn more!

My entry. Not sure if it's any good technically, but I like it.

[rasputin]

The entries are amazing and far too intimidating to compete against .

But I've still tried ! Any comments on these? Any worthy of the competition thread?

I like it. Is it a match you've waved around?

Thank you .

Yep - match on a string. Got through a full box of matches before I got it right, but as a newbie I'm quite happy with that so the black lungs are worth it

Got this selection from recent months:



Been trying to come up with something new for the comp; the first one is a driving shot with the comp in mind but the damn Murcielago made the mount vibrate too much

For those who're interested, the other shots are

2: Rubbish using a light wand
3: Playpark torch
4: Murci strobes and brake lights
5: Silhouette cold cathode
6: Jump! strobes and light wand
7: Handheld urban light trails
8: Folly gelled strobes
9: Spin led string
10: Pillbox led lanterns and gel
11: Suicide? traffic trails
12: Hand led string and torch
13: Abstract led lantern
14: Dan led lantern
15: Bored loads...

I suppose the only other matter is whether I've misunderstood the theme

[baz7175]

lol Andy, plenty to choose from there...the only question is which one - personally I would go with the stationary lambo with lighting to the rear, always liked it since you first posted it up...
